| Message | There are some really harsh cuts here. You cut the head of government budget by 50%. Foreign affairs 25% Justice 50% (yeah we don't need courts I guess) and yet you double the Infrastructure budget? Large moves like this will destroy our government. It will mean large layoffs in certain sectors and fiscal bloat in other areas that will lead to gross overspending and inefficiency. This would be a huge mistake. |
